InDesign CS4 will not open. Crashes on startup - Lion 10.7.2

Question

I just migrated all of my files from our old Quad Core G5 PPC to a new Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro. I'm running Lion 10.7.2 with 16GB of RAM and plenty of hard disk space. Illustrator CS4 opens and runs fine. However, when I tried to run InDesign for the first time (and all subsequent times - about 10 now), it brings up the initial Adobe startup window, lists what is loading (plugins registering), etc., and part way into that process it crashes consistently.
Many of the files our organization needs to complete its year end reporting, donor updates, and board of directors collateral is trapped in ID and cannot be completed until this problem is rectified.
Anyone? Ideas?

I have this issue also. InDesign [CS4] begins to start up, the "initializing..." label appears, then it immediately quits. Started after I had to revert back to 10.7.3 from 10.7.4 due to frequent and incessant kernel panics in 7.4. I tried uninstalling all CS4 apps (using the CS4 uninstall tool), then ran Adobe Cleaner Tool, then did a clean install of CS4 (Design Premium), including a fresh input of the serial number. All other CS4 apps open normally.
Interestingly, upon your suggestion, I created a new user account, then tried to open InDesign there. It opened normally, so at least I can use it in the "Test Account" I created. Any suggestions on how to get it to work in my account?
